His Royal Highness visits Brown University, Dec. 12, 2007
African King to Lecture at an Ivy League University
His Royal Highness, Fon Angwafor III, delivered a lecture on the nexus of traditional and modern rule in Cameroon at Brown University on December 12, 2007. Never before in history has a Cameroonian ruler, modern or traditional, been invited to give a lecture at one of America 's most prestigious institution of higher learning. Africans and friends of Africa were invited to come and be part of history in the making. Because of its rich culture, its unique location and its diverse geography, Cameroon is often referred to as Africa in miniature. A lecture by a monarch from Cameroon should therefore provide insights to the thoughts and practices of other African monarchies. The lecture was scheduled for 12:00 Noon at Brown University 's Watson Institute globally positioned at
111 Thayer Street, Providence , RI. The lecture was free and open to the public.

His Royal Highness visits JFK Presidential Library, Dec. 20th, 2007
HRH Fon Angwafo 111 of Mankon visited John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum at Columbia Point - Boston MA on Thursday Dec 20th at 11:00 AM. A tour of the Library and Museum will let the King visit the recreated world of the Kennedy presidency for a “first hand” experience of John F. Kennedy‘s life, legacy & leadership. The visit started with an introductory film, narrated by John F. Kennedy, in which he discusses his early life and political career, culminating with the 1960 nomination for the presidency. The Fon gained knowledge of the career of John F. Kennedy, the challenges he faced, the decisions he made, and his commitment to public life as he speaks for himself on film, video, and sound recordings.  
His Royal Highness walked through exhibits which are reminiscent of the period, following John F. Kennedy on the campaign trail, through the events of his inauguration  and into the White House.  Permanent, past and temporal exhibits on the Kennedy presidency focus on such trademarks as the Cuban Missiles Crisis, the Peace Corps, his visit to his ancestral homeland - Ireland  and the Space Program. Exhibits on Attorney General Robert Kennedy and the president’s Oval Office deal primarily with the growing Civil Rights movement of the early 1960’s.  A series of displays underscore first lady Jacqueline Kennedy ‘s role in the historic restoration of the White House.
It is hoped that the King’s visit at the John F.Kennedy Museum and Library will take from it a deeper admiration of the American system of government  and a greater awareness of the benefits and responsibilities of living in a free society.
